Changi International Airport, Singapore, Singapore

The construction of this airport began in the 1980s, mostly on reclaimed land. Of the more than 3,400 acres needed for the airport, about 2175 acres have been reclaimed by sea fill. Having steadily expanded – the airport currently operates three terminals with a fourth scheduled to be ready in 2017 – Changi International Airport has grown to become Asia’s largest passenger hub. With a handling capacity of 42 millions of passengers per year, it is currently the 18thmost frequented airport in the world.

The airport has chosen the 7000 Terminal benches to refurnish its waiting areas. The benches boast seats and backs made of wood, stained in different colours. The upholstered seat and back pads, either in warm brown or in friendly beige, harmonize well with the different colour hues.
